Measures to protect machines in the thunderstorm

Jun 13, 2018

Regularly rainwater has continued in most areas, and the operation of the concrete mixing plant will be affected to a certain extent. The safety protection test must be take in place. The following are the lightning protection measures:

1. Install lightning rods on the main body of the concrete mixing plant and the top of the cement silo. One set of mixing equipment, the highest place is forty or fifty meters, and the production plant is mostly in open space, once a thunderstorm forms, it may cause damage to the main equipment, especially the top of the mixing plant and cement silo, this is a very dangerous situation. At the same time, the installation of lightning rods is also tricky. It must be ensured that there is an insulating layer on the top of the device to ensure the insulation of the lightning rod and the main body, otherwise it will also cause damage to the device.
2. Cover the equipment with a sunscreen. Sunscreen is not only sunscreen, but also dust and rain, reducing the possibility of rain seeping inside the machine, and it has anti-static and lightning strike functions.
3. In the event of a thunderstorm, the operator of the equipment should try not to work outside, and the interior should be powered off to ensure no starting.
4. After the thunderstorm weather, check the equipment condition before starting the machine and eliminate all safety hazards before re-operation.

In the long-term operation of the concrete mixing plant, various equipment failures and mechanical problems are bound to occur. The related management person should strengthen the regular inspection and maintenance of concrete mixing plant, and ensure the stability of the equipment state to the greatest extent. Avoid the equipment failure and ensure its safety.
